NOTE  AS  TO  THE  CLASSIFICATION 

THE  Committee  feel  that  a more  definite  classification,  showing  the  degree  to 
which  an  article  is  the  production  of  individual  craftsmen,  is  desirable.  To 
this  end  articles  are  listed  in  the  catalogue  with  the  letters  A , B , C,  or  Z),  follow- 
ing the  number. 

A signifies  that  the  article  was  designed  and  executed  by  one  craftsman  from  beginning  to 
end. 

B signifies  that  the  article  was  designed  or  executed  (or  both)  by  not  more  than  two  crafts- 
men, whose  names  are  given,  working  under  some  form  of  collaboration. 

C signifies  that  the  article  was  done  under  similar  conditions  to  those  existing  in  Class  B, 
but  with  further  subdivision;  although  the  name  of  each  worker  is  given. 

D signifies  that  the  work  was  designed  by  the  exhibitor  and  executed  under  the  factory 
system  ; i.e. , by  a number  of  men  working  in  rotation  in  such  a manner  as  to  make  the  listing 
of  the  individual  names  impracticable. 

It  is  believed  that  this  classification  will  make  it  possible  to  lay  proper  emphasis 
upon  work  done  throughout  by  an  individual  artist  and  it  is  hoped  that  it  will  lead 
to  a more  intelligent  comparative  study  of  exhibits  by  visitors  to  the  exhibition.

PRINCIPLES  OF  HANDICRAFT 


I.  MOTIVES 

The  motives  of  the  true  craftsman  are  the  love  of  good 
and  beautiful  work  as  applied  to  useful  service , and  the 
need  of  making  an  adequate  livelihood . In  no  case  can  it 
be  primarily  the  love  of  gain . 

II.  CONDITIONS 

The  conditions  of  true  handicraft  are  natural  aptitude , 
thorough  technical  training,  and  a just  appreciation  of 
standards . The  unit  of  labor  should  be  an  intelligent  man 
whose  ability  is  used  as  a whole  and  not  subdivided  for 
commercial  purposes.  He  should  exercise  the faculty  of  de- 
sign in  connection  with  manual  work , and  manual  work 
should  be  part  of  his  training  in  design . 

III.  ARTISTIC  COOPERATION 

When  the  designer  and  the  workman  are  not  united  in  the 
same  person , they  should  work  together , each  teaching  the 
other  his  own  special  knowledge , so  that  the  faculties  of 
the  designer  and  the  workman  may  tend  to  become  united 

m each.  ^ SOCIAL  COOPERATION 

Modern  craftsmanship  requires  that  the  idea  of  patronage 
be  superseded  by  that  of  reciprocal  service  and  cooper- 
ation. 

V.  RESULTS 

The  results  aimed  at  are  the  training  of  true  craftsmen , 
the  developing  of  individual  character  in  connection  with 
artistic  work , and  the  raising  of  standards  of  beauty  in 
objects  of  use . 

“it  is  only  possible  to  answer  for  the  final  truth 

OF  PRINCIPLES,  NOT  FOR  THE  DIRECT  SUCCESS  OF  PLANS.” 


THE  SOCIETY  OF  ARTS  AND  CRAFTS 

IT  may  be  well  briefly  to  state  the  aims  toward  which  the  Soci- 
ety of  Arts  and  Crafts  is  working  and  the  object  it  has  in  view 
in  undertaking  the  present  exhibition.  It  seems  indeed  impor- 
tant that  these  objects  should  be  clearly  set  forth  in  order  to  avoid 
any  misunderstanding  as  to  the  exhibition,  for  the  so-called  Arts- 
and-Crafts  movement  is  not  only  often  misunderstood,  but  is  some- 
times in  danger  of  misrepresentation  in  the  works  and  opinions  of 
those  who  claim  to  be  a part  of  it.  The  movement  is  not  a mere 
striving  after  odd  or  bizarre  design,  though  some  of  the  results  as 
vet  achieved  in  its  name  may  seem  to  justify  this  view.  It  is  not  an 
attempt  to  set  back  the  clock  of  the  world  in  an  impossible  en- 
deavor to  revive  bygone  conditions  and  insist  on  making  things 
by  hand  which  might  better  or  as  well  be  done  by  machine, 
though  some  of  its  advocates  have  seemed  to  insist  on  this  extreme 
opinion.  Neither  is  it  an  exaltation  of  mere  amateurishness  at  the 
expense  of  the  solid  qualities  of  the  trained  mechanic  which  must 
be  the  foundation  of  all  artistic  achievement,  though  it  is  inevit- 
able that  in  a new  movement,  such  as  this,  many  amateurs  should 
take  part,  and  that  amateurishness  should  sometimes  mar  other- 
wise excellent  work. 

The  Arts-and-Crafts  movement  is  founded  on  the  belief  that 
the  objects  of  daily  use  are  just  as  capable,  in  their  lesser  degree, 
of  being  made  the  vehicles  of  artistic  expression  and  thus  of  being 
works  of  art,  as  are  the  works  of  painting  or  of  sculpture.  If  they 
are  to  be  so,  it  is  clear  that  they  must  be  the  work  of  men  and 
women  who  in  their  degree  are  artists,  and  that  they  must  thus  be 
made  by  the  hand  of  the  artist  himself,  as  are  works  of  painting 
and  of  sculpture.  Those  who  are  supporting  this  movement  believe 
that  all  the  objects  of  daily  use  ought  in  their  degree  to  be  beauti- 
ful ; and  while  the  simpler  and  the  commoner  of  such  objects  can 
be  and  often  must  be  the  product  of  the  machine,  such  machine- 
made  things  should  be  absolutely  simple,  for  the  reason  that  no 
elaboration  of  form  and  no  ornament  executed  by  machine  can 
have  those  artistic  qualities  which  alone  justify  elaboration  and 
make  it  delightful  and  which  depend  on  the  touch  of  the  artist 

ix 


himself.  The  community  is  beginning  to  realize  that  the  machine 
is  a useful  servant  but  a poor  master,  and  that  there  are  limitations 
to  what  can  properly  be  expected  of  it.  The  Society  of  Arts  and 
Crafts  is  therefore  endeavoring  to  encourage  the  making  by  the 
hand  of  all  objects  of  daily  use  which  are  to  be  treated  with  any 
elaboration  of  design,  of  all  objects  which  are  not  only  to  perform 
a utilitarian  service  but  are  to  give  delight  in  that  service,  and  so 
far  as  this  may  be  possible  by  the  hand  of  the  artist  that  designs 
them.  At  the  same  time,  while  recognizing  the  value  and  the  ne- 
cessity of  tradition  and  that  all  progress  is  founded  on  precedent, 
it  desires  to  encourage,  not  mistaken  seeking  after  new  and  strange 
forms,  but  the  sincere  endeavor  after  personal  and  individual  ex- 
pression in  the  work  of  the  hands,  rather  than  mere  copyism  and 
mere  imitation  of  bygone  forms.  It  is  recognized,  however,  that 
such  reproduction  of  old  forms  may  be  of  great  use,  especially  of 
great  educational  value  at  the  present  stage  of  our  artistic  develop- 
ment, and  while  the  Society  has  as  its  ideal  the  carrying  out  of 
works  of  handicraft  by  those  who  have  designed  them,  it  realizes 
also  that  in  the  present  condition  of  craft  education  this  is  only 
occasionally  possible,  and  we  must  be  content  with  the  more  or 
less  sympathetic  carrying  out  by  the  skilful  craftsman  of  the  de- 
sign of  another.  In  this  case,  however,  the  designer  and  craftsman 
should  co-operate ; and  again  the  best  results  will  be  obtained  by 
the  hand  of  the  craftsman  who  appreciates  the  beauty  of  the  de- 
sign he  is  carrying  out  and  so  is  able  to  give  to  it  something  of  his 
own  individual  feeling.  The  Society  further  believes  that  the  pub- 
lic is  growing  more  and  more  to  appreciate  the  beauty  of  objects 
made  by  hand  which  are  thus  capable  of  showing  individual  feel- 
ing in  their  execution,  and  is  coming  more  and  more  to  demand 
such  objects  rather  than  the  dull,  uninteresting  and  often  extrava- 
gant products  of  the  machine. 

The  Society  therefore  feels  that  it  may  accomplish  an  impor- 
tant use  by  enabling  those  who  really  appreciate  the  growing 
beauty  of  the  hand-products  of  our  craftsmen  to  purchase  such 
objects  directly  from  these  workers,  and  that  it  may  aid  the  in- 
creasing number  of  such  craftsmen  by  finding  for  them  a market 


for  their  products.  Through  this  directly  practical  and  business 
function  the  Society  believes  that  it  is  aiding  in  the  most  impor- 
tant way  the  aim  it  has  of  encouraging  on  the  one  hand  the  pro- 
duction of,  and  on  the  other  hand  the  taste  for,  artistic  products  of 
individual  handwork.  It  believes  it  will  thus  be  adding  to  the  joy 
of  the  worker,  through  which  joy  artistic  production  is  alone  pos- 
sible, and  to  the  delight  of  the  user,  by  whose  increasing  demands 
the  craftsman  is  encouraged  to  continue  his  work. 

The  present  exhibition  is  an  exhibition  of  the  works  of  mem- 
bers of  the  Society  of  Arts  and  Crafts,  — an  organization  whose 
membership  extends  from  Boston  to  San  Francisco  and  from 
Maine  to  Louisiana,  — and  of  members  of  other  affiliated  organ- 
izations. The  Society  realizes  of  course  that  there  are  many  excel- 
lent craftsmen  outside  of  these  organizations  whose  work  may  thus 
fail  to  appear,  but  in  the  present  condition  of  the  movement  this 
limitation  of  the  exhibition  seems  desirable. 

That  the  Society  is  to  a great  degree  accomplishing  its  aim  its 
members  are  encouraged  to  believe  by  the  very  fact  of  the  growth 
of  the  Society  and  by  the  increasingly  high  standard  of  both  design 
and  workmanship  in  the  objects  submitted  to  its  jury,  by  the  con- 
stantly increasing  demand  for  the  products  of  its  members,  and  by 
the  success  which  has  been  obtained  from  time  to  time  by  the  ex- 
hibition of  those  products,  especially  at  the  World’s  Fair  at  St. 
Louis. 

It  is  believed  that  the  present  exhibition  will  show  a distinct 
advance  over  the  exhibition  held  by  the  Society  eight  years  ago, 
and  that  the  exhibition  will  therefore  serve  both  to  stimulate  the 
activity  of  each  craftsman  and  to  increase  the  interest  of  the  public 
and  so  prove  valuable  in  helping  to  take  another  step  forward,  to 
increase  the  quantity  and  improve  the  quality  of  the  objects  made 
by  the  hand  for  daily  use,  by  their  greater  and  greater  beauty  add- 
ing enormously  to  the  enjoyment  of  the  maker  in  his  work  and  to 
the  pleasure  and  the  stimulus  which  come  from  the  possession  of 
beautiful  things  in  the  objects  of  daily  sight,  in  the  utensils  we 
daily  handle,  and  which  play  so  large  a part  in  every  one’s  daily 
life.

THE  SOCIETY  OF  ARTS  AND  CRAFTS 

f"|  ^HIS  Society  was  incorporated  for  the  purpose  of  promoting  artistic 
■ work  in  all  branches  of  handicraft.  It  hopes  to  bring  Designers  and 
Workmen  into  mutually  helpful  relations,  and  to  encourage  work- 
men to  execute  designs  of  their  own.  It  endeavors  to  stimulate  in  workmen 
an  appreciation  of  the  dignity  and  value  of  good  design  ; to  counteract  the 
popular  impatience  of  Law  and  Form,  and  the  desire  for  over-ornamenta- 
tion and  specious  originality.  It  will  insist  upon  the  necessity  of  sobriety 
and  restraint,  of  ordered  arrangement,  of  due  regard  for  the  relation  be- 
tween the  form  of  an  object  and  its  use,  and  of  harmony  and  fitness  in  the 
decoration  put  upon  it.

DEPARTMENT  OF  BASKETRY 


MISS  AMY  M.  SACKER,  CHAIRMAN 

MISS  MARY  W.  BOND  MRS.  LEE  HOFFMAN  MISS  MARY  E.  SLASON 

UNLIKE  the  Indian,  who  wove  sentiment,  religion  and  history  into 
her  baskets,  which  she  made  for  the  most  practical  and  common- 
place uses  of  life,  the  basket-worker  of  to-day  has  only  to  meet 
the  practical  need  and  express  her  own  individual  sense  of  beauty — a much 
simpler  problem  than  to  weave  a life-story  into  her  basket.  In  this  collec- 
tion, brought  together  from  all  parts  of  the  country,  an  effort  has  been 
made  to  show  the  results  of  the  work  in  the  many  branches  of  basketry, 
and  the  possibilities  of  different  materials.  For  articles  designed  to  be  put 
to  the  more  practical  uses,  willow  and  reed  meet  the  requirements  of 
strength  and  durability  and  also  lend  themselves  to  beauty  of  form  and 
design.  Raffia,  during  these  last  years  a most  popular  material,  has  de- 
monstrated its  adaptability  to  use  for  smaller  or  lighter  baskets,  which  de- 
mand delicacy  of  technique;  and  as  it  takes  the  different  dyes  satisfactorily, 
it  offers  great  possibilities  to  those  interested  in  combinations  of  color. 
Among  the  baskets  on  exhibition  may  be  seen  some  successful  results  of 
splendid  daring  in  the  use  of  colors.  In  an  entirely  different  class  of  bas- 
ketry are  those  made  from  materials  as  they  are  gathered  from  the  woods 
and  roadsides  in  Nature’s  own  coloring,  often  as  beautiful  as  can  be  ob- 
tained by  Art.  Pine-needles  from  the  South,  cornhusks,  petals  of  flowers, 
grasses,  sedges  and  flags,  are  all  used,  and  these  are  materials  which  can 
be  collected  in  lovely  places  by  the  worker,  who  so,  out  of  the  waste  things 
of  the  earth,  can  fashion  something  of  beauty  and  of  use.  Those  interested 
in  industrial  and  handicraft  training  will  find  an  exhibit  carefully  arranged 
for  teachers  and  students,  showing  the  progression  from  the  simple  to  the 
more  complex  forms  of  basketry.  It  has  been  the  aim  of  the  Committee 
on  Basketry  to  show  in  its  collection  the  position  occupied  by  Basketry 
to-day  in  the  field  of  Arts  and  Crafts.

DEPARTMENT  OF  BOOKBINDING 

MISS  MARY  CREASE  SEARS,  CHAIRMAN 
CHARLES  THEODORE  CARRUTH  MISS  AGNES  ST.  JOHN  PETER  VERBURG 

BOOKBINDING  as  an  art  was  recognized  as  early  as  the  sixth  cen- 
tury, when  the  covers  of  the  choice  books  of  hours  and  missals 
were  made  of  carved  ivory,  silver  and  gold.  During  the  twelfth  cen- 
tury leather  came  into  use  and  gradually  superseded  all  other  forms  of 
preserving  books.  The  invention  of  printing  gave  great  impetus  to  the 
craft,  and  to  the  sixteenth  and  seventeenth  centuries  we  are  indebted  for 
some  of  the  most  beautiful  bindings  ever  made,  many  examples  of  which 
still  exist  in  museums  and  private  collections. 

In  this  country,  some  fifty  years  ago,  according  to  Mr.  William  Matth- 
ews, there  was  not  a finely  bound  book  in  any  collection  except  what  had 
by  chance  been  procured  abroad.  We  marvel  at  the  progress  of  this  won- 
derful and  interesting  craft  when  we  look  at  the  many  examples  of  Amer- 
ican workmanship  which  are  brought  together  for  this  exhibition,  for  many 
of  them  would  do  honor  to  the  best  French  and  English  binders.  These 
artistic  and  beautiful  books  are  hand-bound  and  hand-tooled  by  artist  arti- 
sans whose  whole  skill  is  brought  to  bear  on  their  work  to  make  it  worthy 
in  every  particular.  Commercial  work  often  tries  to  imitate  the  artist  arti- 
san by  using  a great  machine  that  crushes  its  stamp  into  the  covers  of  the 
books  which  then  come  forth  gold-tooled,  needing  but  a little  touching 
up  here  and  there  by  a finisher  to  complete  the  deception.  These  books 
bear  the  same  relation  to  skilled  handwork  that  a color  print  does  to  an 
original  Raphael  or  Corot.  What  we  look  for  in  a well  bound  book  comes 
under  two  heads  : Forwarding  and  Finishing.  The  first  takes  in  everything 
necessary  for  the  preservation  of  the  book,  the  latter,  its  decoration.  The 
importance  of  the  forwarding  cannot  be  overestimated,  for  no  amount  of 
tooling  or  finishing  can  possibly  correct  poor  forwarding.  As  to  the  decora- 
tion, to  use  Mr.  Cobden-Sanderson’s  words,  “some  subtle  relation  there 
may  be  and  I think  should  be  between  the  inside  and  the  outside  of  a book, 
between  its  contents  and  ornamentation at  the  same  time  the  designer 
should  recognize  the  natural  limitations  of  the  craft  and  abide  by  them; 
he  should  not  attempt  to  encroach  upon  the  other  crafts,  nor  express  more 
than  he  is  able  in  his  own  field.  In  a word,  decoration  should  not  be  con- 
founded with  illustration. 

What  the  art  of  bookbinding  is  most  in  need  of  just  now  is  the  estab- 
lishment of  the  individual  binder,  an  artist  artisan,  in  a shop  of  his  own. 
With  brain  and  hands  working  together,  the  most  artistic  and  valuable 
results  are  obtained,  for  in  that  way  only  can  individuality  be  given  to  art 
and  craft  alike.  It  is  no  longer  necessary  for  the  book  collector  to  risk 
sending  his  precious  volumes  across  the  water  to  be  bound.  All  that  we 

io 


■HR 


are  obliged  to  ask  of  France  and  England  now  is  the  leather  with  which 
to  encase  these  books,  for  in  technique  and  in  beauty  of  design  the  Ameri- 
can craftsman  bids  fair  to  outrival  all  others.

DEPARTMENT  OF  ECCLESIASTICAL  WORK 


RALPH  ADAMS  CRAM,  CHAIRMAN 

MRS.  D.  D.  ADDISON  HARRY  E.  GOODHUE  C.  D.  MAGINNIS 

IN  any  movement  towards  a healthy  reunion  of  Art  and  Craftsmanship, 
the  Church,  of  all  visible  organizations,  must  be  considered  the  power 
most  interested.  Secular  society  may  halt  along,  if  it  must,  with  the 
mechanical  contrivances  of  current  commercialism.  This  alternative  is  not 
offered  to  organized  religion:  art  in  all  its  forms  is  essential  to  her  com- 
pleteness. By  art  material  things  are  raised  from  the  dust  and  made  ac- 
ceptable to  God ; through  art  as  her  own  most  perfect  language  she  speaks 
to  the  souls  of  men.  Architecture,  music,  painting,  sculpture,  are  but  a 
part;  of  equal  import  are  the  arts  of  the  glass-worker,  the  goldsmith,  the 
embroiderer,  the  wood-carver,  the  craftsman  in  metals,  in  fabrics,  in  mo- 
saic, in  jewels,  in  illumination.  Only  the  best  is  acceptable,  and  the  best 
means  the  work  of  heart  and  brain  and  hand,  indissolubly  united.  From 
the  beginning  the  Church  has  fostered  every  art,  for  her  need  was  clam- 
orous, and  this  need  is  as  keen  to-day  as  it  was  in  the  twelfth  and  fifteenth 
centuries.  Altars  and  reredoses,  pulpits,  lecterns,  stalls  and  screens  must 
be  wrought  of  perfect  joinery  and  set  with  carven  statues ; shrines  and 
roods  and  tabernacles  must  be  made  beautiful  with  gold  and  color.  Cru- 
cifixes, crosses,  croziers,  candlesticks,  chalices,  ciboriums,  pyxes,  mon- 
strances and  lamps  must  be  fashioned  of  silver  and  gold  and  ivory  and 
set  with  precious  stones;  copes,  chasubles,  mitres,  stoles,  altar  frontals, 
dossals,  palls  must  be  made  of  velvet,  damask,  brocade,  and  enriched  with 
splendid  wealth  of  embroidery  and  needlework  ; glass  must  be  dyed  with 
a thousand  hues  and  contrived  into  myriad  windows ; iron  and  bronze 
hammered  into  grilles  and  screens,  missals  decked  with  rich  illumination. 
The  list  of  demands  the  Church  makes  on  the  Arts  and  Crafts  is  almost 
a catalogue  of  their  possibilities. 

Thus  far,  however,  craftsmanship  holds  somewhat  aloof,  contenting  it- 
self with  secular  activities.  This  is  partly  due  to  a lamentable  lack  of  sympa- 
thy, partly  to  a want  of  knowledge  how  to  proceed,  partly  to  indifference 
on  the  part  of  the  spiritual  powers  that,  accustomed  for  so  long  to  indif- 
ferent makeshifts,  are  content  with  commercial  products,  forgetting  that 
such  are  only  too  often  unworthy  as  works  of  art,  and  inadmissible  as  in- 
struments of  service. 

A condition  such  as  this  should  not  exist.  One  of  the  greatest  oppor- 
tunities before  the  craftsman  to-day  is  the  service  of  the  Christian  Church 
through  the  fashioning  of  the  innumerable  items  that  go  to  the  furnishing 
of  the  Sanctuary  and  that  make  possible  the  perfection  of  religious  ceremo- 
nial. The  Church  cannot  spare  the  new  craftsman  in  art,  nor  can  he  on  his 
part  afford  to  neglect  what  will  prove  to  be  his  most  munificent  patron.

nature  of  that  material,  has  often  been  insisted  upon,  but  it  can- 
not be  reiterated  too  often.  It  is  the  very  root  of  the  matter  and  runs 
through  all  the  arts.  There  is  perhaps  no  branch  of  handicraft  in  which 
this  principle  is  more  often  and  more  flagrantly  violated  than  in  the  man- 
ufacture of  glassware  as  we  see  it  around  us  at  the  present  time.  One  has 
only  to  see  the  glass-blower  at  work,  to  see  the  red-hot  ball  of  molten 
glass  at  the  end  of  the  long  blow-pipe  deftly  rolled  and  twisted,  blown 
to  a bulbous  form,  compressed  with  the  touch  of  an  instrument  of  wood 
to  form  the  neck  of  a vase  or  spread  with  equal  ease  to  the  outline  of  a 
bowl,  or  again  to  see  it  pulled  to  the  desired  degree  of  thinness  and  turned 
to  a delicate  curve  to  form  the  handle  of  a pitcher.  One  has  only  to  see 
all  this  to  apprehend  at  once  the  essential  character  of  design  proper  to 
glassware ; beauty  of  line  is  its  very  essence.  But  the  very  facility  with 
which  glass  lends  itself  to  every  curvature  tempts  to  extravagance.  A 
large  proportion  of  modern  Venetian  glass  with  its  riotous  contortions 
affords  striking  examples  of  unrestrained  license. 

After  the  determination  of  the  appropriate  form  which  glass  may  re- 
ceive comes  the  question  to  what  extent  may  beauty  of  form  be  enhanced 
by  subsequent  decoration.  Here  the  nature  of  the  material  in  its  finished 
state,  its  unyielding  hardness  would  naturally  guide  the  designer  to  the 
exercise  of  that  restraint  which  is  more  easily  transgressed  in  fashioning 
its  form.  Yet  nearly  all  cut  glass  as  commonly  seen  is  so  covered  over 
with  cut  patterns  as  to  disguise  whatever  beauty  of  outline  the  object  may 
possess  and  by  vulgar  overelaboration  to  destroy  the  fine  character  which 
the  brilliance  of  cut  facets  gives  when  used  with  great  reticence  in  oppo- 
sition to  plain  surfaces.  The  use  of  engraved  ornament  on  glass  is  to 
be  encouraged.  It  is  following  the  methods  of  the  workers  of  the  best 
periods  and  affords  a proper  expression  for  the  artist.  The  employ- 
ment of  the  cheap  decoration  so  much  in  vogue  at  present  is  of  course 
not  worthy  of  consideration  by  the  serious  craftsman.  Ignoble  adorn- 
ment will  always  cheapen  a fine  material. 

The  practical  difficulties  involved  in  the  making  of  objects  in  glass  be- 
ing very  great  and  requiring  elaborate  equipment,  independent  workers  in 
glass  are  of  course  hardly  to  be  found.  The  exhibit  here  shown  is  there- 
fore necessarily  small.

Nos.  281  to  326  were  made  at  the  Union  Glass  Works  in  Somerville,  the 
name  of  the  blower  of  each  piece  being  given,  since  he  is  the  man  responsible 
for  the  shaping  of  the  piece  in  accordance  with  the  design.  The  nature  of 
glass-work  is  such  that  many  other  men  are  employed  on  each  piece,  both  be- 
fore and  after  the  blower  has  done  his  work.

DEPARTMENT  OF  JEWELRY 

FREDERIC  ALLEN  WHITING,  CHAIRMAN 

MISS  EDNAH  S.  GIRVAN  MISS  FLORENCE  A.  RICHMOND  C.  HOWARD  WALKER 

FROM  the  dawn  of  our  race  the  savage,  the  barbarian  and  the  civil- 
ized man  in  turn  has  sought  to  deck  himself  and  those  dear  to  him 
with  such  forms  of  personal  adornment  as  represented  his  highest 
idea  of  beauty  and  his  greatest  degree  of  skill.  These  forms  have  devel- 
oped into  jewelry  as  we  know  it  to-day. 

Ancient  jewelry,  as  seen  in  museum  collections,  is  usually  of  consistent 
beauty  and  fully  expressive  of  the  standards  of  the  era  in  which  it  was 
produced.  Modern  jewelry,  as  seen  on  the  street  and  in  the  shops  to-day, 
is  too  often  a thing  of  commonplace  vulgarity  — a tangible  result  of  the 
impersonal  element  in  the  modern  factory  system. 

No  other  branch  of  handicraft  work  is  quite  so  personal  as  the  jeweler's, 
since  the  result,  when  fully  successful,  must  represent  both  the  ideas  of 
the  craftsman  and  the  standards  of  appreciation  of  her  whose  person  it 
is  meant  to  adorn. 

For  this  reason  many  workers  in  the  handicraft  movement  have  been  led 
to  the  making  of  jewelry,  and,  with  insufficient  training  both  in  design  and 
workmanship,  have  essayed  effects  far  beyond  their  powers  of  achieve- 
ment. Thus  what  is  unfortunately  (and  unintelligently)  known  as  “arts 
and  crafts"  jewelry  has  been  scattered  broadcast,  to  the  disgust  of  anyone 
with  enough  discrimination  to  realize  the  paucity  of  imagination  and  lack 
of  thorough  training  it  usually  displays.  Such  amateurish  work  is  shown 
at  too  many  of  the  “sales"  and  “exhibitions"  and  does  much  to  injure 
the  general  movement. 

In  the  Department  of  Jewelry,  the  Committee  have  aimed  to  demon- 
strate some  of  the  possibilities  inherent  in  jewelry  and  to  at  least  suggest 
what  an  unlimited  field  it  presents  to  workers  who  are  trained  in  design 
and  are  wise  enough  to  confine  their  flights  of  fancy  within  the  limits  of 
technique  for  which  their  training  has  prepared  them. 

Jewelry  in  itself  is  so  truly  personal  that  it  seems  even  more  than  other 
articles  capable  of  artistic  embellishment  to  require  that  treatment  of  the 
individual  craftsman  which  is  so  directly  opposed  to  the  factory  system 
under  which  most  modern  jewelry  is  produced. 

That  feeling  for  surface  and  color  which  is  the  gift  of  the  true  crafts- 
man is  shown  in  many  pieces  exhibited,  and  widely  as  they  may  vary  in 
importance  each  object  shown  has  some  distinct  charm  of  its  own  to  justify 
its  being  included.

DEPARTMENT  OF  LEATHER  WORK 


GEORGE  R.  SHAW,  CHAIRMAN 

A.  W.  LONGFELLOW  FREDERIC  ALLEN  WHITING 

F | ^HE  purpose  of  the  leather  exhibit  is  to  show,  by  means  of  the 
work  of  the  members  of  the  Society,  the  various  methods  em- 

JL  ployed  in  the  decoration  of  leather.  These  methods  may  be 
divided  into  two  classes,  Tooling  and  Coloring,  which  may  be  used  in- 
dependently or  in  combination. 

Tooling  includes : 

1.  Incising  or  outlining  the  design  with  a knife,  a method  effective  in 
combination  with  color. 

2.  Stamping  with  ornamental  hand-dies  combined  in  numberless  ways 
to  form  symmetrical  designs.  This  is  the  tooling  of  book-binding,  and 
is  often  executed  in  gold-leaf  on  a dyed  leather  surface. 

3.  Modeling  or  working  the  surface  of  leather,  while  wet  and  semi- 
plastic, with  a modeling-tool,  often  employed  in  combination  with  stamp- 
ing and,  in  order  to  obtain  greater  sharpness  and  relief,  with  incising. 

4.  Cutting-dies,  which  partly  penetrate  the  leather,  are  used  in  modern 
Mexican  work  in  combination  with  stamping  and  modeling.  In  an  older 
form  of  their  work  cutting-dies  alone  are  employed,  and  the  design  is 
given  a bold  relief  by  stamping  down  the  interstices  with  a tool. 

Coloring  includes : 

1.  Staining,  which  is  employed  when  the  object  is  to  combine  color 
with  the  texture  and  grain  of  the  leather. 

2.  Painting,  which  completely  conceals  the  grain,  and  which  has  been 
most  successfully  employed  in  Spanish  leather  hangings  in  combination 
with  stamping  dies.  The  stamping  may  be  entirely  subordinated  to  the 
color  or  may  be  employed  to  form  the  outline  and  modeling  of  the 
design.

DEPARTMENT  OF  METAL  WORK 

INCLUDING  ALL  WORK  IN  METAL  EXCEPT  JEWELRY 

GEORGE  PRENTISS  KENDRICK,  CHAIRMAN 
GEORGE  EDWARD  BARTON  MISS  MARY  C.  KNIGHT  LAURIN  H.  MARTIN 

GEORGE  J.  HUNT  FREDERICK  KRASSER  GUSTAVE  ROGERS 

ARTHUR  J.  STONE  MRS.  ARTHUR  J.  STONE 

METALS  offer  to  the  artist  and  craftsman  a field  that  stands  un- 
rivalled, because  of  their  flexibility,  malleability  and  power  to 
resist  the  effects  of  time  and  decay. 

Metals  have  always  been  a favorite  medium  through  which  to  express 
the  highest  ideals  in  the  useful  and  beautiful.  Because  of  its  imperishability 
many  of  the  most  famous  craftsmen  of  the  past  sought  to  make  their 
ideas  of  beauty  permanent  by  expressing  them  in  metal. 

The  attempt  to  apply  to  modern  work  the  ideas  of  design  and  produc- 
tion which  were  best  known  to  a savage  is  a not  unusual  fault.  The  sincere 
charm  inherent  in  a copper  vessel  wrought  with  a flint  hammer  is  perfectly 
definite,  but  the  result  is  liable  to  become  affected  when  a designer  of  to- 
day strives  for  the  same  effect  for  perfect  workmanship  through  the  un- 
trained use  of  tools. 

The  worker  in  metals  has  the  choice  of  a wide  range  of  materials  which 
offer  almost  unlimited  scope  in  design,  so  that  the  need  of  discrimination 
is  always  pressing.  The  proper  combination  of  different  metals  is  not  al- 
ways understood,  and  a lack  of  appreciation  of  their  structural  variations 
leads  to  many  unfortunate  attempts  to  combine  inappropriate  elements. 

The  Committee  on  Metal  Work  has  covered  a broad  field  represented 
by  iron,  brass,  copper  and  silver.  The  aim  has  been  to  gather  a represent- 
ative exhibit  showing  that  with  sufficient  training  work  can  be  produced 
which  lacks  nothing  of  good  workmanship,  while  it  retains  that  individ- 
ual charm  imparted  by  the  close  touch  of  the  individual  craftsman.  This 
charm  is  usually  lost  among  the  many  separate  processes  which  result  in 
the  factory  product.

DEPARTMENT  OF  PHOTOGRAPHY 


ERNEST  M.  ASTLE,  CHAIRMAN 

MISS  ALICE  AUSTIN  HAROLD  B.  WARREN 

r | ^HE  gain  in  the  photographic  results  of  late  years  must  be  appa- 
ll rent  to  everyone,  showing  as  it  does  the  development  from  a 

A mere  record  of  fact  to  a work  of  art  having  its  place  in  the  best 

art  exhibitions. 

It  is  a far  cry  from  the  old-time  ideal  of  a sharp,  glossy  print,  straight 
from  the  negative,  to  that  of  the  present,  — a result  into  whose  making 
goes  an  artistic  conception,  realized  through  control  of  printing  and  a se- 
lection of  the  paper  best  qualified  to  bring  out  the  worker’s  intentions. 

Less  and  less  is  the  negative  considered  as  an  end,  and  more  and  more 
as  the  means  to  the  end. 

The  microscopically  sharp  negative  is  illustrative  of  incident  or  place 
and  the  straight  print  from  it  has  a certain  value;  but  the  work  of  the 
modern  photographer  is  now  more  often  a thing  of  “ atmosphere  ” and  of 
soft  gradations,  in  which  the  chief  interest  is  brought  out  and  the  other 
portions  subdued.  Add  to  these  points  of  interest  the  more  perfect  con- 
trol of  printing  and  the  same  characteristics  can  be  kept  with  the  added 
qualities  of  imagination  and  mystery. 

Through  the  use  of  these  means  photography  from  being  a merely 
mechanical  process  becomes  one  capable  of  individual  artistic  expression.

A.  W.  LONGFELLOW,  CHAIRMAN 
DR.  W.  S.  BIGELOW  MISS  AMY  M.  SACKER 

HENRY  C.  MERCER  EDWARD  R.  WARREN 

t | ^HE  exhibit  of  Pottery,  including  the  broad  field  of  modelled  and 
moulded  work,  has  been  selected  for  simplicity  and  beauty  of 
JL  form  and  the  quality  of  glaze  and  decoration,  the  intention  be- 
ing to  indicate  definitely,  that  neither  complexity  of  form  and  design  nor 
variety  of  glazes  in  a single  piece  tend  to  increase  the  merit. 

The  treatment  of  modeling  of  surface  and  texture  are  marked  elements 
in  the  pottery  chosen,  and  much  originality  is  apparent  in  the  work  shown 
by  the  various  potters  and  decorators. 

In  all  cases  the  value  of  the  pieces  exists  more  in  the  proportions, 
colors  and  surfaces  than  in  the  attempts  at  elaboration  in  design.

^OR  the  purpose  of  this  Exhibition  the  Department  of  Printing  has 
been  arranged  in  three  divisions;  of  which  the  first  is  Printed  Books, 
Pamphlets,  Leaflets,  etc.,  and  Designs  for  reproduction  to  be  used 
in  connection  with  printing.  The  Second  Division  consists  of  Engraved 
Work  either  on  steel,  copper  or  wood,  which  is  applicable  either  to  books 
themselves  or  to  book-plates,  announcements,  etc.  The  Third  Division  is 
devoted  to  Illumination  and  FI  and- Lettering.  The  Chairmen  of  the  Sub- 
Committees  are  D.  B.  Updike  on  Printing,  Miss  C.  A.  Powell  on  Engrav- 
ing, and  W.  Dwiggins  on  Illuminating. 

In  surveying  the  general  tendencies  in  printing  and  designing  since  the 
Exhibition  of  the  Society  ten  years  ago,  it  will  readily  be  seen  that  the 
vogue  of  the  intensely  black  and  massive  designs  then  popular,  and  the 
heavy  types  which  went  with  them,  has  been  steadily  on  the  wane;  while 
the  use  of  designs  in  simple  line  and  of  a much  lighter  general  effect  has 
increased.  This  seems  to  have  been  brought  about  by  a desire  to  obtain 
greater  harmony  between  type  and  its  accompanying  decoration.  At  first 
attempted  by  making  a heavy  archaic  type  and  matching  it  with  massive 
antique  decorations,  it  was  found  that  books  so  printed  were  burdensome 
to  the  eye;  hence  an  effort  was  made  to  adapt  the  decoration  of  books 
to  the  styles  of  more  modern  type.  This  has  brought  about  the  use  of  a 
lighter  line  in  modern  decorative  designs,  of  which  the  best  examples  are 
often  derived  from  the  work  of  the  Italian  Renaissance.  The  classical 
revival  in  architecture  seems,  indeed,  to  have  its  counterpart  in  the  re- 
vival of  a classical  taste  in  the  decoration  of  books. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  the  principle  of  unity  of  page  and  decoration 
which  Mr.  Morris  advanced  has  been  followed;  but  by  evolution  has 
arrived  at  precisely  the  results  which  he  deprecated.  Any  tendency  in  deco- 
rative work,  however,  which  accepts  the  general  features  of  the  best 
typography  of  to-day  as  the  “norm”  and  adapts  itself  to  it,  is  in  the  line 
of  healthy  development.  The  attempt  to  reverse  this  principle  was  the 
weakness  of  the  position  popular  ten  years  since. 

Another  interesting  development  of  the  last  decade  has  been  the  increas- 
ing use  of  wood-engraving  in  connection  with  book-making.  The  present 
exhibition  shows  some  interesting  examples  of  work  of  this  kind. 

Finally,  there  has  been  a distinct  improvement  both  in  illumination  and 
in  lettering;  the  principles  of  which  are  better  understood  now  than  ten 
years  ago.  There  is  more  good  hand-lettering  done  at  the  present  time 
than  for  many  years  past.  And  this  is  also  true,  in  a limited  measure,  of 
the  design  of  printing  types.

C.  HOWARD  WALKER,  CHAIRMAN 

HARRY  ELDREDGE  GOODHUE  MISS  MARGARET  REDMOND 

r | ^HE  stained  glass  in  the  exhibition  is  necessarily  represented  by 
S;  comparatively  small  examples,  as  large  windows  cannot  receive 
A sufficient  light  nor  be  installed  at  a distance  from  the  observer 
which  would  adequately  give  the  effect  desired. 

For  these  reasons  also,  the  figure-work  and  detail  has  been  limited  to 
small  pieces,  such  as  screens,  small  ornamental  windows,  etc. 

As  the  effect  of  stained  glass  at  its  best  is  obtained  by  antique  and  clear 
glass  with  the  brilliancy  of  jewels,  but  little  of  the  translucent  glass  is 
shown ; for  though  it  is  manifest  that  both  translucent  and  transparent  glass 
are  effective,  they  are  seldom  successful  if  used  together  in  the  same  win- 
dow, and  the  quality  of  the  windows  which  are  acknowledged  to  be  of 
superlative  merit  owe  their  value  to  a great  extent  to  their  characteristic 
of  allowing  light  to  pass  clearly  through  the  glass  with  its  full  brilliancy.

DEPARTMENT  OF  TEXTILES  AND  EMBROIDERY 


MISS  ALICE  M.  MORSE,  CHAIRMAN 


RICHARD  ARNOLD  FISHER 
MISS  SARITA  G.  FLINT 


MISS  LOIS  L.  HOWE 
MRS.  E.  J.  WEBER 


TEXTILES  include  woven  materials  both  plain  and  ornamental, 
tapestries,  rugs,  embroideries  and  lace. 

The  crafts  associated  with  textiles  were  those  which  languished 
least  in  the  dark  ages  of  the  early  nineteenth  century.  Though  the  pro- 
cesses of  hand-weaving  were  entirely  superseded  by  machinery,  and  lace- 
making was  almost  as  much  affected,  yet  embroidery,  following  in  the 
track  of  “plain  sewing,”  has  not  entirely  died  out. 

In  spite  of  its  descent  to  “ Berlin  wool  work”  and  its  attenuation  into 
“outline  embroidery,”  it  was  still  kept  alive.  At  the  same  time  there  has 
always  been  a demand  for  “real”  lace  that  could  in  no  wise  be  satisfied 
by  the  machine  productions. 

We  have  endeavored  to  show  in  the  textile  department  of  this  exhibition 
the  results  of  the  revival  of  interest  in  weaving  and  lace-making,  and  the 
advance  not  only  in  skill  but  appreciation  of  embroidery. 

The  textiles  have  been  arranged  in  three  groups: 

I.  Weaving  (or  woven  work) 

II.  Needle-work  or  embroidery. 

III.  Lace. 

I.  Under  the  head  of  weaving  come  textiles  pure  and  simple. 

(i)  Plain  weaves  depending  for  their  charm  or  beauty  on  color,  texture 
or  material. 

(2)  Woven  patterns  where  the  interest  arises  or  the  texture  is  effected 
by  patterns,  either  of  the  same  color  — the  effect  being  gained  entirely  by 
the  method  of  weaving  — or  by  its  different  colors. 

In  this  group  also  are  put  — 

Rugs,  both  woven  and  pulled  and  decorated ; 

Decorated  textiles,  those  which  have  patterns  either  printed  orstencilled 
upon  them. 

II.  The  second  group  includes  all  sorts  of  embroidery  except  ecclesias- 
tical embroidery,  which  is  arranged  under  another  section.  Here  we 
show : 

(1)  German  embroidery,  in  which  great  numbers  of  different  stitches 
are  used  in  flat  effects. 

(2)  Work  which  gives  painted  or  tapestry  effects  without  regard  to  the 
form  of  the  stitches. 

(3)  Cross-stitch  embroidery,  primitive  but  effective. 

(4)  Drawn  and  cut  work,  in  which  part  of  the  cloth  is  pulled  or  cut  away, 
the  openings  thus  left  being  filled  in  with  lace  stitches  or  effects. 

70 


This  last  brings  us  naturally  to 
III.  The  third  group  — that  of  lace  : 

1.  Pillow  or  bobbin  lace. 

2.  Point  lace. 

3.  Crocheted  lace. 

4.  Knotted  lace. 

Unfortunately  much  of  the  embroidery  of  the  present  day  is  well  exe- 
cuted but  poor  in  design,  richness  and  dignity  being  lost  from  the  desire 
to  make  a showy  article  with  as  little  work  as  possible,  and  also  the 
attempt  to  render  flowers  in  as  naturalistic  a way  as  possible.  By  studying 
carefully  the  work  of  early  weavers,  embroiderers  and  lace-makers  of 
other  countries,  we  can  get  much  help  both  in  design  and  execution,  and 
by  modifying  it  to  our  needs  and  surroundings,  we  can  develop  an  art 
of  our  own.  Good  and  appropriate  materials,  though  not  necessarily  ex- 
pensive, good  design,  good  colors  and  good  execution  are  all  needed  to 
accomplish  a beautiful  piece  of  weaving,  embroidery  or  lace.

DEPARTMENT  OF  WOOD-WORKING  * 


H.  LANGFORD  WARREN,  CHAIRMAN 

ROBERT  D.  ANDREWS  NILS  J.  KJILLSTROM  C.  H.  WALKER 

THE  craft  of  wood-carving  has  suffered  less  than  most  of  the 
crafts  from  the  direct  influence  of  the  machine.  It  is  true  that 
pressed  and  stamped  ornament  has  been  used  in  cheap  factory- 
made  woodwork,  especially  in  cheap  furniture,  but  the  manifest  ugliness 
and  hopeless  vulgarity  of  this  tawdry  and  insipid  ornament  has  prevented 
the  use  of  such  methods  in  woodwork  making  any  pretentions  to  quality, 
and  of  late  the  growth  of  a better  taste  is  tending,  at  least  in  some  quar- 
ters, to  the  elimination  of  this  cheap  stamped  ornament.  Furniture  of 
good  form,  simple  in  outline  and  devoid  of  ornamentation  may  properly 
be  made  by  the  machine  and  may  be  beautiful  in  its  way,  but  any  deco- 
ration must  be  carved  by  hand  to  make  the  slightest  claim  to  artistic  qual- 
ity. The  largest  use  of  carved  wood  is  undoubtedly  in  the  decoration  of 
the  interiors  of  buildings  and  in  furniture,  and  this  class  of  work  has 
been  directly  controlled  in  most  cases  by  educated  architects.  The  growth 
and  development  of  the  profession  of  architecture  in  this  country  has 
therefore  brought  with  it  constant  improvement  and  increased  use  of  carved 
woodwork. 

In  the  first  instance  our  carvers  were  immigrants,  men  trained  in  the 
workshops  of  Europe  under  the  old  apprentice  system,  which  continues 
to  produce  excellent  results  there,  and  it  is  still  the  case  that  our  best 
wood-carvers  are  such  English,  Scotch,  Germans,  Swedes,  French  or 
Italians.  Native  Americans  are  now  beginning  to  take  up  wood-carving, 
but  it  must  be  confessed  that  the  entire  absence  of  any  proper  appren- 
tice system  and  lack  of  any  adequate  scheme  of  training  which  might 
conceivably  take  its  place,  still  obliges  us  to  depend  on  immigration  from 
Europe  to  keep  up  our  supply  of  skilled  carvers.  Our  youths  are  apt  to 
be  too  impatient  to  go  through  the  long  training  necessary  to  produce  a 
master  in  the  craft  of  wood-carving. 

Since  woodwork  is  largely  produced  for  the  decoration  of  buildings,  it 
is  more  difficult  to  make  an  exhibit  which  shall  really  do  justice  to  the 
excellence  of  much  of  the  work  that  is  being  carried  out.  The  Society 
is,  however,  able  to  show  some  excellent  and  really  representative  pieces 
by  trained  craftsmen,  as  well  as  some  promising  work  by  amateurs. 

If,  owing  to  the  condition  under  which  wood-carving  is  apt  to  be  car- 
ried out,  its  quality  has  suffered  less  from  the  direct  use  of  the  machine 
than  is  the  case  in  some  other  crafts,  it  is  nevertheless  unfortunately  true 
that  the  handicraft  of  wood-carving  has  grievously  suffered  from  modern 
commercialism.  The  carver  himself  too  often  becomes  a mere  machine. 
* See  also  under  Ecclesiastical  exhibit 


86 


The  pressure  of  commercial  conditions  forces  him  to  turn  out  so  much 
work  in  so  much  time  with  little  regard  to  its  excellence,  while  mechan- 
ical ideals  tend  to  a deadening  reproduction  of  the  same  forms  in  which 
mechanical  accuracy  is  a poor  substitute  for  individual  character  and  artistic 
quality.  Our  wood-carvers  under  better  conditions  of  work  are  capable 
of  producing  much  better  results.  Great  things  might  be  accomplished  by 
our  architects  if  they  should  adopt  the  practice,  not  of  letting  out  wood- 
carving at  a certain  sum  by  the  job  to  the  lowest  bidder,  but  of  employing 
the  best  carvers  they  can  find  and  paying  them  for  their  time,  not  by  the 
piece,  expecting  of  them  not  a given  quantity  of  work,  but  insisting  on 
the  highest  artistic  excellence  of  which  they  are  capable  and  encouraging 
them  to  give  not  merely  of  their  labor  but  of  their  thought  and  feeling.  It  is 
only  when  this  is  done  that  work  of  any  individuality  and  artistic  quality 
has  been  procured. 

The  qualities  that  one  looks  for  in  wood-carving  are,  in  the  first  place, 
of  course,  those  qualities  that  belong  to  all  good  decorative  design,  suit- 
ability to  its  purpose,  expressiveness,  good  proportion,  right  relation  to 
„the  space  in  which  it  is  set,  not  only  avoidance  of  precise  repetition  of 
elaborate  ornament,  but  thought  and  vitality  in  every  part,  rhythmical 
distribution  of  line  and  of  light  and  shade  masses,  produced  by  the  right 
kind  of  contrast;  and  finally,  one  looks  for  those  distinctive  qualities 
which  belong  to  the  material  and  method  of  work,  the  crispness  of  touch, 
the  sharp,  clean-cut  line,  the  somewhat  sharply  contrasted  modeling  which 
the  wood-carver's  tools  are  peculiarly  fitted  to  give,  and  which  is  proper 
to  the  usually  dark  color  of  the  wood.  These  are  the  qualities  which  a 
skilled  designer  sympathetic  with  his  material,  a craftsman  who  enjoys  the 
expressive  touch  of  his  tool,  will  be  sure  to  give.

SHANKS  to  the  generosity  of  its  friends,  the  Society  has  been  able 
to  bring  together  a small  collection  of  specimens  of  craftsmanship 
of  former  times. 

The  numbers  have  been  limited  because  the  first  object  has  been  to 
provide,  as  far  as  possible,  direct  and  simple  examples  corresponding  to 
the  various  crafts  of  to-day  — examples  where  the  comparison  could  not 
fail  to  be  stimulating  and  suggestive,  showing  that  the  craftsmen  of  those 
days  reached  beauty  by  simple  means,  combined  with  an  understanding 
of  the  material,  its  limitation  and  purposes.

ADVERTISEMENTS 


“ The  Place  to  Buy  Rugs ” 


OUR  ESTABLISHMENT  has  acquired 
this  name  as  its  natural  right,  after  many 
years  of  showing  here  an  infinite  variety  of 

Foreign  and  Domestic  Rugs 

without  the  accompaniment  of  exaggerated 
or  fictitious  romance  as  to  their  value  or 
ancestry. 

OUR  FIXED  RULE  is  to  give  a full 
dollar  of  value  for  every  dollar  invested. 

OUR  FIXED  AIM  is  to  have  rugs  that 
will,  in  colorings,  design  and  quality,  con- 
tent the  most  exacting  buyer. 

OUR  SUCCESS  in  this  is  shown  by  the 
fact  that  our  clients  become  our  friends, 
and  come  to  us  again  and  yet  again. 

YOU  ARE  INVITED  to  visit  our  store- 
house of  beautiful  things,  if  only  to  u just 
look  around.”  Should  you  also  become  a 
buyer,  you  will  receive  the  fair  and  honor- 
able treatment  ever  accorded  to  all  our  pat- 
rons ; our  motto  being  to  never  have  a 
dissatisfied  purchaser.
